Are your car and the bike really that close a match in colour? I enjoyed your remarks 
.
You might want to try a post in the 'in search of/want to buy' sticky for the shoes and pads.

It is amazing to see the impact that the Fraysse's had on cycling here even today. I have an early 70's PS 5 speed I am restoring now as well. Back in the eighties I raced USCF for the NJBC under Ed Draper who built some wheels forthe 84 Olympic team and learned wheel building from him. He used to have an honorary member Track suit hanging in our shop in Olney MD, plus a set of 16 &20 spoke TT wheels, but I don't remember who they were built for.

Hi all, Will get picks of the Limongi up soon. Pepe was actually only at Park Cycle for a short while as I recall. Mostly, the frames were imported from France. I really couldn't tell you if he ended up in Canada. Although the description of an Italian living in France is what I recall. Its been I while, and I wasn't fully plugged in at the time. I was there through 78, and remember a local builder named Bill Ralph, and of course the father son team of Francesco and Andreas Cuevas.
(I also can not post the link...so try to google "Velo Pages Paris Sport 753" and you straight get a link.Limongi is well known in France but little is really existent about his career. I believe it is because of his many working locations in Paris, NY, Quebec and again France. He lived and build frames in Canada in the 80s up to early 90s and came back to France than again. It is been said that he build the Gitane Professional bikes of the Renault Elf Team and Pascal Jules, LeMond etc.
I am accumulating right now some more informations and have already an archive full of Limongis. Do you remember when he started working in the US? I heard rumors of 1970 already, which was in Europe the bike boom? And is there any picture of him maybe somewhere?
Kind Regards from Berlin, Germany.
